    I admit it takes too much clicks for my taste, but it just works. I
also have Thunar installed. When it is more convenient, and depending on
the context, I use the shell or Emacs to manipulate files.

    To mount/umount usb keys, I have my own application, Hopman. Thanks
to that I could get rid of gvfs. But Hopman relies on the kernel to
decide if a disk is removable and the kernel decides that large disks
are not. I should let Hopman decide by some different logic, but I have
been too lazzy up to now, therefore I use pmount from the command-line
for large disks.
